stoner superstitions & weird things

what stoner-superstitions do you have and know of? i´ve seen a lot of people do weird things regarding weed in general: how they smoking it, how they prepare the weed, how it´s lit, how and when to get high, etc...

here are a couple that have particularly struck me as funny:

a friend of mine used to think that the calyx (the potential "seed pod" where a seed would be in a bud) was bad because it touched the seed. and since seeds are bad (for smoking), the calyx was therefore bad and shouldnt be smoked. just upon looking at one, you can see that they´re chock full of trichomes. besides, that´s just a ridiculous line of logic. once he learned, he started saving and separating just the calyxes to smoke on special occassions.

another friend i had quit using all flint lighters because there´s a little puff of smoke from the flint and steel, which would obviously be bad to inhale. i see his point, but most of the time, you´re lighting the lighter at least a little ways away from the weed, so you still have time while you´re bringing the flame towards it for the flint smoke to float away. but he always had his own electric lighter that he would use.

someone else I know will try and not ingest ANYTHING right after getting high. no water, no gum, definitely no food, nothing. she feels it takes away from the high.

 

Yeah, I try not to ingest any food after getting high. Moreso cause of the cottonmouth though..

 

i know folks who wont use a lighter to light weed. only matches,,can be a pain in the ass using a bowl..

 

My friends and I always have this thing where it's HORRID, HORRID BAD LUCK not to take the first hit off a pipe you loaded, or a joint you rolled, etc etc ​

​

I have a friend who wont exhale until the smoking apparatus comes back to him. Its kinda funny when theres a group of more than 5 people. Or the look on his face when you start getting stoned and spacey and talk between hits.

 

I personally really start trippin when I don't eat/drink anything and just stare at something.

Most recently I was flying over a city, in and out, then to the suburbs.... there were also dancing zebra's involved... everything also went black and white at one point.

Awesome stuff.

 

Red and white lighters are bad luck, apparently.

 

thats why i often prefer to buy red or white lighters, to prevent them being stolen.

 

I've always heard it's yellow and white lighters...white seems to be somewhat of a concensus but meh I use them all the time

 

what happens if its a black lighter but its just one of those "coated with a black sticker but its white underneath" lighters. Then one night when you are baked you start peeling away at the black sticker then it becomes a white lighter. Does that mean it becomes bad luck?

 

no. lighters arent bad luck based on what color they are

 

haha.

 

Yeah I've heard the white lighter thing and I'm always like nooo but then I'm like whatever cuz everyone thinks its dumb haha.
But yeah people I know have odd rituals, like you always have to pass it to the left..

 

i offered these guys gum once and they're like "if you chew gum while your inhaling smoke, some of the smoke will get stuck to the gum and you will get tongue cancer." im actually not too sure if this is bull or not cause there were like 3 of them that wouldn't accept the gum.

 

yea ive heard the thing about lighters but around here just yellow is the bad one to have. it doesnt matter to me which color it is but some people wont use a certian color. the most wanted lighter of all my friends is a pink bic for some reason. they all think the pink bic is the best and some of them even think they dont sell them individually anymore like you can only get them in a pack of like 5 or something. i know thats not true because ive seen a few pic lighters right at the counter sometimes but theres usually not many.

other then that theres not really any other supersitions that anyone i smoke with abides by. ill post again if i can think of anything else lol.

 

My point exactly, supersticions are dumb. Sarcasm just doesnt display well in text form.

 

that isn't true. just because they form a consensus doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.

 

lighter racists

 

Oh right... uhmm if a dealer was dry on a friday, it was the end of the world

 

when will we learn to get past the color of our plastic? when? i always hear the "white lighter" one, but what about ones with fancy covers? i had a wooden one once, from a state park. superstitions are silly. ahhh! a black cat!
